Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Alle singen deine Lieder Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Und die ganze Welt hört zu Er wuchs auf ohne Freunde Denn keiner wollt' spielen Mit einem, der blind war wie er Und er saß meist zu Hause Die Jungen dort draußen Die riefen bloß hinter ihm her Sie riefen „Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Welche Farbe hat die Sonne? Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue“ Kinder können grausam sein Auf der alten Gitarre Die ihm jemand schenkte Da spielte er, sie war sein Freund Seine Lieder, die klangen Nach Hoffnung und Freude Und manchmal, als ob jemand weint Und er sang „Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Welche Farbe hat die Sonne? Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue“ Und die Kinder hörten zu Und bald spielte keiner so wie er Seine Lieder, die gingen den Menschen ans Herz Und er malte Farben aus Musik Und vergaß all seinen Schmerz Und bald kamen Zehntausend Zu seinen Konzerten Denn er schenkte ihnen die Kraft An die Zukunft zu glauben Im Dunkel des Lebens Er hatte es selber geschafft Oh, Johnny Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Und sie kamen immer wieder Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Keiner spielt so schön wie du Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Alle singen deine Lieder Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue Und die ganze Welt hört zu (Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue) Und die ganze Welt hört zu
